New version of Garmin Express available. BUT with the bug (at least for me). During update via Garmin Express, installation failed and I was not able to run Garmin Express anymore. I uninstalled it from PC, downloaded installer from Garmin web:
https://download.garmin.com/omt/express ... xpress.exe and tried install it again.
Now Garmin Express is installed, but I can't add any of my device (NAV V and NAV VI). There is an error message:

When I check for updates (on 7.15.2) it still says I'm up to date. 7.16.0 pulled maybe?

v7.16.0 is not offered to me either but it is the version that Garmin is distributing via the Garmin.com site.

I am running GE 7.15.2.0 and it wants to install 7.16.1.0 now, so maybe they found the problem and fixed.

I reported my problem to Garmin, still waiting for response. V.7.16.1.0 available for download today, but it did not fix my issue - NAV V nor NAV VI recognized by Garmin Express. Avoid update if you can until they fix all bugs.

I think it's an issue with the new CN NA map. After I had the error, I downgraded to v 7.15 on one computer, did not update from 7.15.2.0 on another. Using an XT and a 590, all combinations gave the same error while trying to install on a PC - "Map changes failed"

EDIT: The failure to update the map on a computer is a map problem, not an Express bug.
Garmin is aware of the issue, see https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software ... 55#1565355. We just have to wait for a fix.
